Lyn drew NSI Runavik in the first round of the UEFA Cup. This is a Faroe Island club that I know little about. I assume they play a summer schedule--like Norway or Mls--but would appreciate any further information available. I definitely want to attend at least one match.

Check on the Faroese league thread for some info about NSI. If you can, you really should try to make it to the game in the Faroe Islands. I imagine that the game will be played in Toftir.
Here is a link to the NSI Runavik home page www.nsi.fo
The Faroese season usually runs from April-October. NSI is currently sitting in fourth place in the Faroese league. They have a record on two wins, three draws. NSI tied local rivals B68 Toftir on the weekend 1-1.
Here is a picture of their home ground at Runavik.

As you can tell, it is not up to UEFA standards.
Thus, the game will probably be played at this field
